To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
AS you have given space for several communi-
cations with reference to the trouble in the
Woman's Relief Corps, will you give this space?
It ought to be understood that the Womans Re-
lief Corps is, so far as their conventions, cleo
tons, etc, are concerned. independent of the G.
A. R., and that the latter organization has no
authority contro! whatever over the former.
1t ought to be further understood that the late
encampment of the G.. A. r., as an encampment
did not attempt to order direct the action of
the ladies of the W. r. c. who happened to be
at Indianapolis at the time the encampment was
held. All talk Of the present any other officers
of the 6. A. R. ordering or directing the W. T.
q. or its officers what to do is all talk
nothing more It is understood, and l
believe it to be true. that the depart
ment convention held at Indianapolis
in 1886 adjourned. directing the president, Mrs
Alice E. Griffin, to fix the time and place for
holding the next convention. This gave her the
absolute power to fix the time and place, within
the time allowed by the law. to hold the conven-
ton for the present year. Ia compliance with
the power given her. she has called the convs;-
ton at South Bend for next week. These being
the facts, that will be the legal convention of the
". r. c., and the officers elected at the South
Bend convention the legal officers of the corps in
this State.s Now, for the good Of the order, and
for the success of the noble purpose for which
the W. r. G. was organized. it is hoped that the
illegal action OF those assuming TO act as officers
in consequence of the assumed election a,
Indianapolis on Feb II will cease, and
that all the corps will be repre-
scented at South Bend, and that harmony
may again prevail in this noble order. It is also
hoped that The officers of the G. A. r. will have
the consideration to keep that organization out
of this unpleasant affair. l am sure that If they
attempt to interfere they will no. be sus
| rained by the department. when it shall again
meet; and | know that they will not be sustained
| by the national officers. In the language of GU,

A SUGGESTIVE DISCOVERY.
The Partially Decomposed Hand and Arm of a
Woman Found in Hay-Mow.

large number of people visited the rear yard
at 24S South Missouri street from IL o'clock yes
terday morning until late in the evening. Their
curiosity was excited by the finding of
woman's hand and arm in the hay
NOW Of the stable the premises. which
occupied by George Van Cleve, clearinghouse
landlord. He went there from South Tennessee
street three weeks ago, and yesterday, when
neighbours boy came over to visit the landlords
son, the latter took his friend out to show him
the premises. The boys climbed to the hay
NOW, where an old trunk, some useless tools and
a few hundred pounds of old hay in one corner
had been left by former occupant of the place.
The boys, in their search for anything that
might prove interesting moved the old hay. and
found beneath it the hand and arm, from which
the flesh was partly gore, but what had not
been decomposed was dry on the bones Two of
the fingers gone, while the other three
were fastened by particles of dried flesh.
Superintendent Travis and Detective Haley
visited the place. They think the to
whom the hand and arm belonged has not been
dead more than a few months, and that the dis
covery is probably a claw to some murder or
suicide, which has been thus far concealed.
The property belongs to Edward Rentsch a
clerk for the g., c., c. Sc l. railroad company.
He occupied it before he rented it to Mr.. Van
Glove. The hay, he says, he purchased more
not identify him. The police inclined to
think if they can find where the hay came from
the other remains of the woman may be found
A few persons had theory that the hand and
| arm came from some grave yard, but the police
! do not accept this Another theory is that tn Q
| hand and arm were placed there by some med
cal students for the purpose of creating sensa-
l ton.

THE GERMAN SOCIALISTS.
How They Enjoyed Beer at Their Entertain
ment in Defiance of the Police.

It is reported by the police that not more than
half dozen saloon-keepers in the central part Of
the city made effort to sell liquors yesterday.
On East Washington street one or two dealers
send beer out in buckets to private rooms, where
it is retaled to regular customers The Off
GERS claim that hereafter they will guard against
any beer being carried from the saloons. All
the places out from the heart of
the city, it is said, are closed promptly
at IL o'clock Saturday night, and not
opened again until Monday morning. The few
saloon-keepers who continually try to evade the
law are members of the Liquor League, and it
is STAYED that organization has told members to
defy the law However others of its member
ship. who close promptly, say no such order
has been issued, and that, furthermore, the mem
bers who do not obey the law will have to
answer for their actions before the League. But
one man, Louis ombalann, OF the Kankakee,
was caught selling yesterday.
The German Socialists met at Mozart Hall last
night, and beer flowed freely from early in the
evening until late this morning The policemen
were effectually kept out. The meeting was in
the nature OF an entertainment to celebrate the
anniversary OF the revolution OF 48. There was
instrumental and vocal music, with speech by
Phil Rappaport, of the German Tribune. In the
notice OF the meeting sent out through the Trib-
une it was stated that any one would be ad-
mitted by paying twenty-five cents. Believing
from this announcement that the entertainment
was to be a public affair, the superintendent of
police detailed Captain Sauers, Sergeant Lowe.
and Patrolmen Wilson and Shaughnessy to see
that no beer was sold. The managers heard of
the order, and instructed those who intended to
come to be there early, and before o'clock over
400 persons had purchased tickets and entered.
A few minutes after o'clock the doors were
locked. in expectation of the arrival of the po-
lice but tickets continued to be sold on the out
side. and the buyers admitted in squads, with
the promise that they would sign paper
on the inside presumably a pledge to di-
vulge nothing to the grand jury. If
called upon, when the police appeared and the
doors were locked At least 800 persons, some
of them Socialists, were after this denied ad-
| mission. Threats by some Of the followers of
the red flag to break in the doors were made.
During the evening the rattle of beer glasses
could be heard in the hall above, and toward
midnight the crowd became very noisy. When
| the door-keepers began to let out the crowd at
the close Of the entertainment the police took
the names of all they knew, and will hand them
to the grand jury when it convenes.
